I am mesmerized by the seemingly endless varieties of fractals in nature! Put very simply, fractals are repeating patterns. When we look at fractals, it engages a part of our brain that causes relaxation. No wonder The Great Outdoors makes me feel so good! On this journal entry, I got all geeked out over the fractal patterns in leaves. I suppose part of me also wanted to engage with the leaves at a deeper level before they are all gone for the winter. I will miss them.
This is my second visit to the St. Louis Science Center to experience "Sue" and some of her "friends." I am blown away at how much more I am seeing - simply from taking the time to make some quick sketches. I missed so much on the first visit. . .
